Deleting your account

Last updated: September 22, 2026

You can delete your BS Meter account at any time, from inside the app or by email.

How to delete it

In the app. Open Settings, find Delete your account under Account, and confirm. It takes effect immediately.

By email. Write to support@thepocketappcompany.com from the address you signed in with and ask for your account to be deleted. We will do it and reply to confirm.

What is deleted

The record of who you are. When you sign in with Google, the only thing kept about you is the account identifier Google gives us — no email address, no name, no picture. When you sign in with an email address and password, what is kept is that address and a hash of the password. Either way, that record is deleted.
The link between your phones and that record. Every device signed in to the account is signed out of it.
Your monthly check count. The number of checks you have used is deleted, for every month.

This happens straight away and cannot be undone.

What is not deleted, and why there is nothing to delete

The app stores the results of fact-checks so that the same claim does not have to be checked twice. Those results are stored against the video and the claim — never against a person. There is no column anywhere that records who checked what, so there is nothing of yours in them to remove. We would rather say that plainly than claim to delete records that never existed.

The app keeps working

Deleting your account does not disable the app. It goes back to counting checks against the phone itself, exactly as it did before you signed in. The difference is that your monthly allowance no longer follows you to a new phone.

Your monthly allowance also starts again from zero. We are telling you that because it is a real consequence, not a hidden one.
